New chair for the official Denmark.


My summervacation is spinning like a crazy wheel. Although my vacation has been ongoing for about a month now, I dont feel like I have truly relaxed yet.

- Have been going crazy with a room makeover of my office at home, and I now have space for all my architecture and design models from school as well as my posters from the critics - feels like an autum breeze that calms my nerves, now where its all at its right place and not thrown together in a creative mess :)

A part of my vacation has also been spend on designing ( although it´s called "time of", I cant really seem to do that! ). I am currently sketching on a competition called "New chair for the official Denmark". I am participating with Mette Risbæk which I designed RE:TABLE with.
The rules for the competition is to design a chair for the royal castle of Amalienborg - more precisely for use at fine dining and for official events. The design should be a symbol of the danish design tradition, and there are multiple demands for the design such as construction, hardware and use, good craftmanship etc. Read the competition rules here: http://www.arkitektforeningen.dk/ny-stol-officielle-danmark

Due to different reasons, Mette and I havent got so much time to design a proposal for the competition, but we feel inspired, and are determined to complete and finish out our idea. I bet there will be a lot of architects and designers who will participate in this competition, some probably more experienced than us, but it doesnt hurt to give it a try right? I look forward to showing our idea here at my portfolio site at the end of the year!

Bo Bedre & Boligliv


It´s pretty exciting to find my own design in some of the biggest interior magazines in Denmark. This month our RE:TABLE was mentioned in "Boligliv" in an article about hot trends of mixing material, shapes and colour.

In "Bo Bedre" our table was mentioned in an article about how furniture designers worldwide has turned focus from the table top to the table leg, and how focus is on visible details and surpricing design.
